In 1861 he was elected county treasurer, but he was a northern man and when party feeling, incident to the discussion of the slavery question and the war, became very heated in Lewis County, the bushwackers drove him out. He went to Illinois, remaining until a short time prior to the close of the war. He returned to Missouri, settling in La Grange where he obtained two acres (Lewis County Land Assessment Book - 1862). In 1866 or 1867 he was chosen to represent Lewis County in the state legislature, and after the expiration of his term of office he returned to La Grange until his death in 1884.
